This seems like the definitive method to add links to captions without extra coding or any plugins:

1. Enter HTML mode
2. Add link in the caption=”[…]” markup
3. Be sure that the link is applied with a single (‘) quote NOT a double (“) quote. If a double quote is applied WP cleans it out.

Please allow me to place a link on any set of words in the caption. This is still happening in WP 2.9.2.

Worked! Thank you!

I’d like to know the answer to this too: basically, how do I control the size of the image in the attachment page?

I found the problem: I’m using some of the Sandbox functions in my functions.php, and there is a function called sandbox_gallery($attr) which appears to be removing the markup for the built-in gallery.

I removed it, and it is working now!

Also, any leads in documentation on how to properly add the built-in Gallery function to your own theme would be great! I can’t seem to find the right keywords to fins the right documentation.

I am using the_content(); in index.php.

I should also add: none of the gallery markup is showing up. Only the paragraphs, images, etc. are showing up in each of the posts of my theme.

This is not a direct solution to the previous_post_link problem, however, if you have set up a homepage with the latest post, there is a way to have the latest post *be* the homepage url/permalink. Use just this code in home.php:

[?php
query_posts($query_string.’&posts_per_page=1′);
the_post();
wp_redirect(get_permalink(), ‘302’);
return;
?]

A very resourceful friend figured it out:

[?php
query_posts($query_string.’&posts_per_page=1′);
the_post();
wp_redirect(get_permalink(), ‘302’);
return;
?]

Also, if there is another way to rethink this problem, I’m open to suggestion!

I’m trying to achieve the same effect to for my homepage (home.php) template: I want to display only the latest post on the homepage, but allow the user to go back one post at a time chronologically. Unfortunately, the previous_post_link only works in permalinked pages (single.php):

Does anyone know if there is a way around this: to get the previous_post_link function to work on home.php.

@abelq: That’s helpful, thank you!

However, I need the files list output automatically to save on time if, for example, I have 5-10 files per post.

Anyone else with a tip on how to do this automatically?

Figured it out! The solution actually already exists in the default/ theme folder:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="box %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</li>',
        'before_title' => '<h2>',
        'after_title' => '</h2>',
    ));
?>

I just changed the settings for the ‘before_title’ and ‘after_title’ to <h3>. Voila!

I just thought of a very simple hack around this: Don’t use the given ‘Title’ feature of each widget box.

*Instead*, just put the title and the body content into each widget box. This way a ‘fake’ title setting (h2, h3, etc.) can be assigned. For example:

Title: [blank]
Body: <h2>This is my fake widget title</h2><p>This is my content</p>

Voila!

I have the same request to use HTML inside the Widget’s title. However, I would like to use anchor tags, and that unfortunately does not have a CSS solution.

I’m not terribly familiar with creating over-riding functions: Can anyone show us how to create a function that will allow us to include HTML elements in the Widget’s title?

Any help would be great!
